See the new look of YABA that got everyone complaining bitterly including me. The last time I went to Yaba was three months ago when the new fly over bridge was still under construction only to get there yesterday and discovered it has been completed and the road on the rail line that leads to tejuoso has been blocked and fenced off so everyone has to go through the fly over bridge to access tejuoso market and the bridge is unnecessarily long and exhausting. I was there yesterday but had to go again today because yesterday the complex I wanted to get stuff was shut and according to the traders the govt was coming for inspection. The way they built the bridges are not convenient cos you'll climb two long lanes before you'll get to another long lanes descending to the other side. Lagosian were complaining as they climb and descend. On the other wing there are stairs. I used the stairs today thinking it would be better than the other walkway and nearly fainted. Is this to add to Nigerians suffering or better their lives because someone who's already experiencing hunger can not climb that bridge o. Below are pics of the flyover. 12 Likes 2 Shares

More like; “Keeping them fit and healthy for the HUNGER ahead” But on a serious note, this pedestrian bridge has it's own advantages. It outweighs the disadvantages 269 Likes 21 Shares |

Maybe there's a structural explanation to this, but i do not know CCECC will be punishing people in the name of "Pedestrian bridge" Currently seeing the one being constructed in front of LASU, and i can't imagine myself walking such a distance. They should make these designs simple, abeg 36 Likes |

Ogiame: I'm not joking. If you climb that bridge you'll be panting by the time you get to other side. It's going to make me reduce my visits to the market. I can't deal. What of the elderly ones? Is this not punishment? 16 Likes 1 Share |

Very terrible poor design The fundamental purpose of a pedestrian bridge is to provide a safe and efficient means for people to cross the road swiftly and conveniently. This maze I'm seeing here is far from convenient. 8 Likes 3 Shares |

I passed that area four months ago when I visited Unilag. I couldn't help but imagine the construction that CCECC did there. It seems like the construction was an idea of a drunk Engineer. I understand that a flyover was constructed to connect Ojuelegba to the other side of Yaba but what is the essence of a pedestrian staircase. Infact once you get under the pedestrian staircase, you'll have to climb up the stairs and then down again as of you're climbing up and down a manual lift to get to other section. Perhaps the stairs is great for exercise but not for the sick and aged. 11 Likes 3 Shares |
